Prospective Son-In-Laws

Teapot has a penchant for giving people nicknames.... thus Frankie, which has been my nickname since almost the first day I met him. I have been looking for years for a nickname for him that would stick and then last year I came up with Teapot... it was perfect. It was with nicknames in our minds that the following occurrence happened.

Tonight the dear boy (that would be Teapot) took me and the Daughters in the truck and we dropped the Daughters off at the school's Coffee House as agreed, and we then proceeded on to a local food joint for some supper. As the Daughters were leaving us it became almost poignant that I could see a day when they would leave us for good. They carried on into the school to meet up with their chums and Teapot and I began to talk about them as we drove off for our dinner out. Daughter #1 is now 15 years old and is about 8 months from getting her driver's license. Daughter #2 is just 17 months behind. It is getting more and more apparent to us that there will come a time when it will no longer just be Mom, Dad, and the two Daughters. Teapot has been threatening the Daughters for years, with forcing their boyfriends (when they get them) into digging holes in the garden to tire them out before there can be any dating. I think this has something to do with the fact that Teapot knows how the teenaged boy thinks (probably about sex and nothing else). Tonight I decided to ask Teapot if he would give any future prospective son-in-laws nicknames and he said he would if I wanted him to. I said absolutely.

We discussed the nicknames of his best buds in University. They were dickie (with a small d), Pube, and Ralph. Perhaps you are beginning to see where this is going. By the time we got home we had come up with really good nick names for all prospective son-in-laws....

I wonder what the Daughters will think....

Of course we mean it with the utmost respect, you understand.... ; }!!!
